I asked a ground crew in HKG about the availably on 15 Dec and she said that I have very minimum chances of successfully redeeming a ticket of both CX881 and 883 in every class even for being a MPO Go. Since it is my birthday I really wish I can travel on CX on that day.
P.S.: I've checked 8 Dec and there are seats available in Choice award, but not in Standard award (being waitlisted). How high is the chances if I can redeem in Standard award (as MPO Go)?
Much appreciated.

If you check CX.com, flights on 15 Dec are selling K class as minimum so you can rest assured that you won't get any redemption seat on 15 Dec in Y where on 8 Dec they are selling N for 881 and S for 883. If you have Choice award I'd recommend you to grab it if you really need that travelling
For J, I'd say loading means nothing to your waitlist status (probably unless you are DMP). I'm wait-listing a companion J seat for a flight from Tokyo back to Hong Kong with J class wide open for a few months already. They simply won't release those seats and just hope that someone will buy them later.
